Since then, this policy affects a significant decrease of the non-tax revenue of Immigration which might cause the programs and immigration policy getting fewer. The purpose is to set up recommended strategies to raise the number of non-tax revenue of immigration and as a reference and recommendation for Directorate General of Immigration (DGI). The result shows that there are three steps and strategies in an effort to make the non-tax revenue of immigration higher: increasing the fee of the existing non-tax revenue, regulating the discrimination of fee (user charges) of the non-tax revenue, and adding categories of non-tax revenue of immigration.
